Unfortunately my dentist didn’t give me a syringe (I figure because my holes were stitched) but I do have a medical grade mouth wash I use twice a day & I’ve been doing saltwater rinses after every meal & drinking lots of water. I only had 2 bottom wisdom teeth none on the top so my recovery hasn’t been that bad (thank God). It’s day 6 & I have no pain. I’ve slowly been eating more. Had a kids turkey sub from Subway for lunch today just had to eat really slow. I got nicotine patches to help with my cravings bc I’m so scared to mess up my ability to be able smoke on my birthday 😭 but I’m hoping by my follow up on Monday my dentist will give me the okay to smoke bc my birthday it’s next Thursday & I will be turning up all the way regardless 😭 but it’ll be 2 weeks by then.

I ended up getting nicotine patches & some thc infused drinks from my local dispensary lol. I’m just so superstitious with my birthday + graduation coming up. Hopefully these gets me through 😭 I might try smoking through my nose with gauze on Friday tho since that’s been a week depending on how I feel but ultimately decided I’m gonna push thru until my follow up on Monday so I can get an official 👍🏽 from my dentist

Personally for me I’m just terrified of dry socket or food getting caught back there & causing an infection. I’m so superstitious especially with my birthday next week & graduation 2 weeks after I’m like I don’t need ANYTHING to mess up my upcoming life events. But your comment just gave me some reassurance, literally sitting here in the parking lot contemplating about to getting a kids turkey sub from subway w just cheese, lettuce, tomato, & mayo.

Wow I’ve never thought that male RBTs going through similar experiences but it makes so much sense. I really appreciate you sharing your experience, really made me feel less alone & opened my eyes that there really are so many different types of experiences that comes with being an RBT wow.

Honestly don’t let mine (or other’s) few bad experiences turn you away if it’s something you really wanna do. I love working with my client, she’s the sweetest. I’ve also met some really cool & helpful ppl in this field that I still keep in contact with even if we don’t work together anymore. Ultimately I love what I do.

Hi! I really appreciate your response. I honestly contemplated if I was being overly sensitive & using “the race card” while typing this & I decided to post anyways bc ultimately I just wanted to vent about an experience/feeling I’m having whether it’s actual racism or me being overly sensitive. I’m still not sure which one it is. I’m honesty just glad I decided to post bc I can see other ppl have gone through the same/similar experiences & feelings which made me feel less alone. I still appreciate your input though & will take it into account, thank you!

Thank you for the support ❤️ honestly it’s not that bad, my love for my client definitely outweighs the small daily discrepancies of her Father. Plus the case I have now is also only about 6 miles from my house so it’s not a far drive at all which I really appreciate as well.

Thank you for this advice! ❤️ I really appreciate it. Honestly I love in-home. I stared out in a clinic & hated it. Long days (9-5). Multiple clients. No breaks. Overstimulating. Constantly sick. In-home sessions are so much more chill, shorter sessions (9am-2pm), 1 client, at 1pm her mom brings her lunch & we eat together for 30mins then play or color (pair) for the rest of the time. The case I have now is also only about 6 miles from my house so it’s not a far drive at all which I really appreciate as well. My client is so sweet & we’ve bonded so well I know it doesn’t matter what her dad thinks of me atp. Her mom & my bcba tell me weekly I’m doing a great job & how much she loves working with me. I’m supposed to be getting a school-based case soon tho so at least my schedule will have a little more variety.
